Summary

Utilize the Agent Mover (IPXFER.EXE) and AUTOPCC.exe commands in login scripts to transfer OSCE agents from one OSCE server to another via the Login Script Utility. The commands can also be used to reestablish client connection with an existing server.

Details

Public

Use the ipxfer.exe utility in OSCE login scripts by adding the command to existing scripts or the ofscan.bat file.

If you already have an existing login script, Login Script Setup appends a command that executes AutoPcc.exe. Otherwise, OSCE creates a batch file called ofcscan.bat that contains the command to run AutoPcc.exe.

The name of the destination OfficeScan server (the server to which the OfficeScan agent will transfer).

-p <server listening port>

The listening port (or trusted port) of the destination OfficeScan server. To view the listening port on the OfficeScan web console, click Administration > Settings > Agent Connection in the main menu.

-c <agent listening port>

The port number used by the OfficeScan agent endpoint to communicate with the server.

-d <domain or domain hierarchy>

The agent tree domain or subdomain to which the agent will be grouped. The domain hierarchy should indicate the subdomain.

-e <Certificate location and file name>

Imports a new authentication certificate for the OfficeScan agent during the move process. If this parameter is not used, the OfficeScan agent automatically retrieves the current authentication certificate from its new managing server.

Default certificate location on the OfficeScan server:

\\<Destination Server name or IP Address>\ofcscan\Pccnt\Common\OfcNTCer.dat

When using a certificate from a source other than OfficeScan, ensure that the certificate is in Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) format.

-pwd <agent unload and unlock privilege password>

The unload and unlock privilege password configured in Privileges and Other Settings.

If the unload and unlock password is required and you do not provide the password, Agent Mover prompts you before attempting to move agents.

The Autopcc.exe -f and -u switches trigger a forced update of the client/agent if an agent is already installed.

Save the changes to the login script.

When the login script runs, the OSCE client is pointed to the server specified in the ipxfer command parameters. The autopcc command will force client machines to update / upgrade to the OSCE version of the destination server.
